Hall Rating Quick Update

A quick update to Hall Rating, using a newer ASPM regression. The data here includes only data from 1978 to 2014, so players who started their careers before 1978 will be underrepresented. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, for instance, was already 30 in 1978–and he had a hall of fame career after that!

Hall Rating, as currently constituted, is VORP + 2* VOA, where both VORP (Value over Replacement Player) and VOA (Value over Average) can not have a value lower than 0.

Hall Ratio is how many “Hall of Fame Careers” the player’s career was worth.

This newer version of ASPM (and the tweak to Hall Rating) doesn’t like pure point guards quite as well, dropping John Stockton down from 3rd to 17th. It also likes elite post players more, and volume scorers less. Kobe Bryant drops from 5th to 14th (only fractions ahead of Scottie Pippen), while Tim Duncan climbs to 6th.
